Bulk rename of volumes via GUI

Hello,

In previous releases, we could select multiple volumes, right-click, and choose Rename. A popup would then display all selected volumes, allowing us to rename them one by one. Once all changes were made, we simply clicked Save, and all selected volumes were renamed at once.

Example: Select 20 volumes → right-click → Rename → edit the names → Save.

This option appears to have been removed in more recent releases. As a result, renaming multiple volumes now requires significantly more clicks.

Current process (20 volumes): Click the ... next to a volume name → select Rename → enter the new name → click Save → repeat the same steps for each of the remaining 19 volumes.

Could you please consider reintroducing the bulk rename feature, allowing multiple selected volumes to be renamed from a single screen? This would greatly improve usability and efficiency when managing large numbers of volumes.

Thank you.
